Thanks Andy! I've played it pretty low-key for most of my career, but looking forward to sharing a backlog of work.

the Anxiety killer is horrible. For me its been the reason why I've succeeded in elevating my work and the reason for paralysis/self-sabotage. The only tools I have against it is trying to replace those intrusive thoughts with more powerful empowering ones. and...

Ultimately If you feel you cant remove 3D from the workflow I feel the challenge is learning how to love it. For me it's learning to stream line the procedural nature of it to maximise creative control and keep my brain in design mode rather than problem solving the software.

Really miss the 2D days. But I've seen in action co-workers who slide through this with ease. So trying to blunt force my way though those stages at speed, rather than mentally fighting the transition. Just get back to 2d ASAP.
